CONVICTED.
Editor OBrien Found Guilty Of Sedition
as Charged.
SENTENCED TO IMPRISONMENT,

CORK, September 2i.-Mr. O'Brlen, III
his speech of defense, said: The Crown was
guilty OF having suppressed evidence IA
gorable to him. The Crown had with
held for Just once the notes made by head
constables Of the defendants speech. In
these notes, he said, was recorded his
statement hat the Irish people would
give the Land bill first place. Continuing,
Mr.. O'Brien justified his defense OF
KingstOw.l tenants on the ground that
the eylctiOns against them were CON
menCed Just on the eve of the passage OF
the Land bill, and thus an attempt was
made to defraud the poor, wretched ten
ants of the benefits of the measure. lie
admitted that he had advised the tenants
not to give up without resistance, and that
he had declared before God and man they
were justified in defending their homes.
Mr.. O'Brien, replying to the charge
made against him Of having used SeditlOus
language in a public address, declared that
the court was not competent TO try him,
because it was foreign in It's composition to
the requirements OF the British COnsti-
tuition.
AZ this point the Judge stopped Mr..
OBrien, saying the discussion Of politics
would not be allowed in the proceedings.
Mr.. O'Brieu thcreupOn declared that he
was a chosen representative Of the Irish
people and would advocate free speech.
The court again stopped him.
Mr.. O'Bucn was found guilty and SEN
fenced to three months Imprisonment,
Notice of appeal from the judgment OF the
court was given.
Immediately after sentence had been
pronounced against Mr.. O'Brien, Of the
first charge, he was placed On trial OF the
second charge. This was of the same ma
ture as the other, upon this he was also
found guilty and was sentenced to three
months Imprisonment, the term to be con-
current with the other. Mr.. O'Brien ap,
pealed from both Judgment and was
liberated on bail.
Mr.. John Mandevill, chairman OF
the board of poor law guardi-
ans at MitChelistown was jointly
indicted with Mr.. O'Briep for using sedit-
iOus language, in a speech made on the
same occasion az Mr.. O'RTicn'a, WAS also
convicted and sentenced to two months
Imprisonment. Mr.. Vaudeville appealed
from the Judgment, aud was permitted to
remain Mt liberty on bail pending the de-
cisiOn of the appeal. Mr.. O'Brien, when
he emerged from the court room after the
trial, was received with an ovation by a
large crowd which had assembled to testify
their approval Of his course.

About Little Breeehes.

SbOub A1iNNiE
To he Editor Of the Register:
Some of u Republican friends are COM
planning of Mrs. Cleveland's treatment OF
Gov. Foraker. Have these gentlemen re-
Elected upon the position in which they
place themselves? In fact, do they under
stand any of the rules that guide those
who claim to possess good breeding?
It is not seldom that a lot of upstairs
who know nothing of good society, assume
dictatorial airs and talk ~oracularly upon
subjects with which they are not familiar.
If Mrs. Cleveland treated Gov. Foraker
as his fir ends claim, she only gave him
nartially what he deserved, and not by
any means all the contempt that she
should have bestowed upon. She gave
him 9 stiff bow and refused to allow him
TO shake her hand when, unlimited, unde-
sired. and in every respect unwelcome, he
endeavored to force himself upon her ac-
o~uaintance and shake her hand. Foraker
Is not. never has been, and will never be a
gentleman. Three generations of his kind
| will not make a gentleman. After having
spoken of Nj. Cleveland as a dog, and
having for a year past made himself nOto-
rious and disgusting for his vile, Islander
ous abuse OF the President, he had the
cheek to try to force himself upon the &C
~ouaintance of the Presidents wife, when
he could not help but know that, true and
loving wife as she is, his very presence
would be disagreeable.
For cheek, ill-~breeding and hOosier man
ners. commend us to OhiO's Governor. II
the Republicans of that State fancy such a
one as a specimen of their party, no one
will envy them. No doubt he is worthy
of his party. He has just the grade of the
Ohio Republican. Loud mOuthed, abusive,
brs zen, cheeky, ill-mannered, ill-bred,
without cultivation and with hardly the
faintest idea of what makes the gentle
man, he is the ideal OF the average Ono
Republican. ,
Men of his ilk should he snubbed. ana
when they attempt to force themselves
upon the notice of their Superiors, the
sooner they are kicked out the better.
Mrs. Cleveland had no desire to see the
slanderer and maligner of her husband and
his determination that she should receive
him met with a fitting rebuke, which gen
tlemen regard as richly deserved. A lowly
bred dog, he should have been kicked out
as a dog A b. u "

Mrs. Cleveland remarked that she had

pressed herself annoyed that she had
snubbed Governor Foraker of Ohio and
his wife. She declared thatit was untrue.
The stories were set aiOat ny some officials
from Columbus, Ohio, who were very busy
in having the tales printed. Daring the
visit Mrs. Cleveland was in charge of
Chairman Thomas NJ Thompson,
and she did Just what he
told her. Mr.. Thompson to-day
denied most emphatically that Mrs. Cleve-
land had snubbed Governor Foraker or
anyone else. lie said: Al take the full re-

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, September %.
"Wednesday night, as Turnkey Ferguson,
at the wayne county Jail, went TO lock up
the prisoners, three brothers named Bren-
ners, under indictment for murder, at
tackled him. The first one knocked him
down. When he attempted to get up he
was felled with a he'd slat by the second.
This stunned him so that before he recOv-
cred the Brenners, Wilburn Rose and Dick
DickerSOn made their escape. Recovering
consciousness, Ferguson started after them
and firing, struck Dickerson i'll the back,
badly wounding him. He was taken back
TO Jail, but the other four escaped. At
once Sheriff Bowman and a posse of forty
men started in hot pursuit, but the fugi-
tiyes managed TO evade them and made
good their escape.
Last night the posse returned, having
ridden 100 miles. To-day a man from
Kentucky said one Of them was seen the

died this morning ut an early hour in the
office of DR.. Campbell, where he had been
lying since he was brought here. An ex-
animation showed internal injuries, which,
with exposure and the amputatiOn of his

caring for him. Mayor Camden got a little
money from them that was due Goldsmith
after hard work, but they left nothing for

buyers Operating la Moderation Light
Autumn Shearing.
No change Ofany Importance is apparent
in the state of the wool market. Buyers
are operating with great moderation, and
prices rule in their favor. There seems to
he a rather better tone in the trade than a
week OF two ago, hut this is about the eX-
tent OF whatever improvement has Occurr-
ed. The volume of sales has not increased
materially. The outlook, however, is
more hopeful than for SCme time past.
The leading manufacturers have received
fair orders for lightweight goods,
and the recent free movement
OF heavy weights from job
bers is accounted a particularly prOmis,
ing sign. Still there is much pressure to
sell on the part OF financially weak hold
crs both east and west-pressure due in
great measure To the great cost Of carry
ing on borrowed money. Speculative
buying is also wanting. The likelihood
OF any decided rise in value Just yet ac-
cOrdingly is small.
The autumn shearipg is under way in
Texas. 1t is understood that no eastern
buyers have gone there. Eastern houses
arc also doing little at the west, as hold
ers there are pretty firm in their demands,
Notwithstanding the decline in prices since
the spring clip was taken.
A good attendance at the London aaleS.
with active competition, has been reported
until within a day or two. The market is
still irregular, ranging occasionally in
buyers favor, though some Of the seleC-
tiOns continue in strong demand. Choice
Port Phillips wool at Liverpool is I'd. 10
Did. cheaper than last year, but costs
about the same as two years ago, while
poorer stuff has not declined so much.
The imports of wool into this country show
u continuous falling off az compared with
last year, and there is more or less talk
about a deficiency in the aggregate supply.
The Boston market shows no animation
and no change of moment in any respect.
Buyers are still restricting their operations
and prices are low. Round lots can be dis
posed Ofat concessions but not otherwise,
and further concessions are not made by
those holders who are able to wait for
developments. The amount Of business
in sight at the mills is increasing, and this
fact will have weight in determining the
course of trade in material during the rest
Ofthe year. Some large sales of territory
wool are reported. In fine Ohio and Mich

continues very low, as will be seen from
